4 Best Cocktail Bars in Oakland

“Great atmosphere. Great staff. Fantastic drinks. Can’t wait to come back. Five stars.“

“Have been a regular since it reopened from the old days, it continues to surprise me every time we visit! Incredible food, service and value! Will always be our favorite around Deep Creek Lake, its consistency can be counted on! Love it!!“

“I love this bistro!!! it simply is the best place in downtown Oakland to eat or have a cocktail or even sit and talk with friends. 206 offers a variety of cocktails that change with the seasons, as well as every classic cocktail you can imagine the food is second to none. You can see fresh ingredients come through the restaurant from the farmers market, and certainly taste the quality and caring that goes in every thing. I make it a point to stop here at least a few times a week. It doesn’t matter if it’s for breakfast, lunch dinner or for the entertainment/music they have never disappointed me. Everything is top notch, and the owners and staff are all friendly and fun to interact with! If you’re anywhere in downtown Oakland or walking up Alder Street, you do not want to miss this experience!!!“

“Delicious food and drinks. Haley was such an attentive and pleasant server. Can't wait to be back!“
